I dispute the ‘drilled’ finding- I’m pretty sure those were due to early experimentation with the new invention called ‘PopRocks’

Or scalps on a belt, ears or fingers on a string a trophy of their conquest.

In the distant future archaeologists will be amazed when they find the gold-plated diamond encrusted teeth belonging to some of our modern-day rappers!

I wonder who excavated the cavityh where this was found?
And who filled it back in.
Okay, I'll stop now.

It is rumored that Stalin used Hitler’s skull as a paperweight. About the only thing he said enjoyed more was lying to the West about how they let Hitler escape. Wearing a necklace with Hitler’s teeth would have been too obvious.

Nope! Clearly the earliest documented use of a Dremel.

Good catch -- this dates to the short Pop Stone Age, which was a subdivision of the Neolithic.

Well, we've been using jewelry as human teeth.
